I saw that in the news recently.

Unfortunately, this guy's proposal to destroy people's computers is stupid! A law in the USA is not always a law inthe UK, or anywhere else.

Before zapping a computer, who determines who is sharing copyright or public domain material?

What comes around, goes around! Trust me. A hacker (and there are plenty of them) will fight back, with a few ZAPS.

What comes around, goes around! The recording industry promised cheap priced music with the new invention called COMPACT DISK. Cheaper than the cassette tape. Yeah right. It costs more than that cassette. They've been ripping us off, now its our turn.


this whole idea doesn't sound good. It is sure to backfire.

I like the part where they bust that guy for a little JAVA script pirating, eh?

They want your computer to electrically explode and fry, if their secret (virus-like) software detects you using P2P.

Got it?

WHAT?! F(_)CK THAT!!!!

How would that be policed?yahoo messenger msn and probably quite a few other messengers have a file sharing option!will your comp blow up when you send a small vid or doc to a friend?

I dunno but this whole thing is gay. (the persons who want to implement this, not the board or its users :D )

read the end:


On Wednesday, Hatch came under attack for allegedly being a copyright pirate himself. His hatch.senate.gov Web site's menus use JavaScript code created by the U.K. company Milonic Solutions. Milonic Solutions charges between $35 and $900 for the right to obtain a license number for its JavaScript menu, but Hatch's site does not include a license number. Instead, this comment appears in the site's HTML code: "i am the license for the menu (duh)."

A Hatch representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

lol

You know how overclocking too far can cause a computer to burn up?
That's excaty how they could do it.. :( :( :(

The whole idea behind this is stupid, destroying comps b/c of p2p.

No one has the right to destroy your computer regardless of activities
you perform on it. Computers are pretty expensive these days.

It would be like the police trashing your house and setting it on fire
because you stole some cd's at the music store.

What if you had something REALLY important on your comp?

This whole thing is bull sh*t as others mentioned

[ricochet]

I know it bull I think some of these ppl have ears where we dont... How many of us can talk to a congressman,, and have him listen...
